Pam McIntrye: Finding Purpose Through Photography After Retirement

Oct 1

In this episode, I’m talking with an incredible photographer, Pam McIntyre, who was actually a student of Live Snap Love many years ago, but has gone on to do amazing work in all different genres.

The story of her photography journey is an interesting one - she had a highly technical job in a male dominated industry, and took up photography as a way of having a creative outlet.

She then recently retired, and worried that her life would lack focus and purpose, so she started a blog, and has been sharing her work and journey through the process of retirement there, along with sharing her fabulous photos.

Here we talk about her personal journey and the importance of finding purpose after retirement, how she stays creative, what things helped her grow the most, starting a blog, photographing birds and landscapes, her gear and so much more!

Here’s just a few things we cover:

Why Pam was worried about losing purpose after retirement, and what she did to overcome it
What her biggest game changer in photography was…..and what wasted her time.
The type of photography she started with, and what she focuses on now
Her favorite lenses for bird photography and landscape photography
How she is using photography as a way for mindful thinking
And so much more!

Here are some of Pam’s magnificent images!
